What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Over 50 ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporter-related genes are detected in the Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803 genome by genome sequence analysis. Deletion mutants of other substrate-unknown ABC transporter genes were screened for their acid stress sensitivities in a low-pH medium to identify ABC transporters involved in acid resistance. We found that a mutant of sll1180 encoding proteins with homology to HlyB in Escherichia coli (E.coli) is more sensitive to acid stress than wild-type (WT) cells and analyzed the abundance of expression of the genes in WT cells under acid stress condition by quantitative real-time reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction. sll1180 expression increased in the WT cells after acid stress treatment. Immunofluorescence revealed that Sll1180 localized in the plasma membrane. These results suggest that Sll1180 has an important role in the growth of Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803 under acid stress conditions. HlyB, HlyD, and TolC complex transport HlyA in E.coli; therefore, we searched for genes corresponding to these in Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803. A BlastP search suggested that HlyA, HlyD, and TolC proteins had homology to Sll1951, Sll1181, and Slr1270. Therefore, we constructed deletion mutant of these genes. sll1181 and slr1270 mutant cells revealed acid stress sensitivity. The bacterial two-hybrid analysis showed that Sll1180 interacted with Sll1181 and Sll1951. Dot blot analysis of Sll1951-His revealed that the sll1180 and sll1181 mutant cells did not transport Sll1951-His from the cytoplasm to the extracellular matrix. These results suggest that Sll1180 and Sll1181 transport Sll1951 and that Sll1951-outside of the cells-might be a key factor in acid stress tolerance.
